GEORGETOWN, Guyana (CMC) — Coach of Trinidad and Tobago’s women cricket team, Gerald Garcia, has criticised cricket officials in Guyana for not selecting a new venue to play the finals of the WICB Regional Women’s Super-50 Championship on Sunday.

T&T were crowned new title-holders after the final against Barbados was abandoned without a ball being bowled because of wet conditions caused by heavy overnight rain at Everest.

T&T were entering the finals at the top of the standings on 12 points, one higher than Barbados after 12 of the 16 matches were completely washed out.

“It’s very disappointing that the fixtures seemed to be set in stone even when it was becoming obvious that we were turning up to the same venues and not being able to play any cricket,” said Garcia.
